The Miami Church as referenced in the article seems to believe the Bible verbatim: http://www.cfmiami.org/new.php

What more can we hope for?

But if Rubio were a Democrat, I don’t see thing playing out so irenically.

I don't agree with that.

Democrats could care less if a nominally Catholic candidate also attends (or only attends) his wife's Episcopal or Methodist or what have you church.

A lot of people are in Rubio's situation, and the ambiguity is largely the fault of the bishops.

Dinesh D’Souza, another Catholic paladin on the right...added “Being a Protestant is a term defined in opposition to Catholicism....”

Sounds like a smear to me. What a rube!
History Lesson: Positively Protestant

I don’t know what this revelation says more about—their supposed intellect gone vacuous, or extraordinarily poor catechesis, or marrying non-Catholics and trading off faith for peace at home, or for political/career gain. It looks quite blase about faith and their explanation of sorts try to make blase look cool, intellectual and rather broad and worldly, in a professorial kind of way. All of which are referred to commonly taken together or separately as the broad road to hell. Terribly interesting but a little hair raising for those of us who still appreciate, on faith issues particularly, just a little rigidity here and there in this era.

Or perhaps God is waking them up to the truth of the Gospel.

I have known of people at our church who went to mass before attending service with us.

And in my travels I have often attended catholic services where ever I was.

It all seems rather wobbly men of such strong convictions.

I'm a Catholic, but my beliefs don't effect whether my candidate is Catholic or Protestant or Jewish or non-denominational BUT mooselimbs are out.

Mooselimbs want to kill me and my family, can't vote for'em.

Rubio and D'Souza are just two of millions of Catholics who have only the foggiest idea about what the Catholic Church believes, and none at all about how to defend those beliefs from the Scriptures -- a direct consequence of the complete abdication of catechesis after Vatican II in the US.

The situation started improving in the mid 1980's, but by then an entire generation had been lost.

So what! I have no use for any religion; if anyone else does have at it, I care not. With that said...Believe how that Christ died for your sins, was buried, and raised from the dead for our Justification. Believing this you are saved.

Two things...

1) This is a very misleading headline, and

2) I’m stunned and very pleased that Marco Rubio and Dinesh D’Souza are practicing Protestants. I can understand they’re both politicians who don’t want to lose the Roman Catholic vote, but the fact is they worship and financially support Protestant churches.

That’s real progress.

And what of his religious double-dipping?

Since when is being a follower of Christ so offensive to Christians?
